This lens is quite different than my other lenses:it is really a personal journal, rather than a traditional Squidoo Lens.It contains some personal views on Lens design, construction and promotion.I am using it to record some of the design criteria I have tried, used or abandoned in attempts in the very early beta stages of Squidoo. Hence the title "Lens on Lens."Some Ideas are likely to have

Robert Plotkin ('Automating Invention") otten writes about the economic effects of computer automation including the drive to develop and market skills that have not yet been automated.
